[Bug 1780585] Re: lubuntu cosmic installs ZRAM

[sudodus]

@vmc,

Did you install Lubuntu Cosmic into the internal drive by 'dd' from the
iso file or USB flash drive?

Or did you use an installer (Calamares or Ubiquity or the text mode mode
Debian installer or some other installer)?

When you boot Lubuntu from a 'dd'-installed system, you have a live
system, which uses zram, and has used zram for years. Is this what you
are running now?

When booted into a live system, and you *install* Lubuntu with an
installer (Calamares or Ubiquity or the text mode mode Debian installer
or some other installer), Lubuntu should get installed so that it will
not use zram. If I am understanding correctly, it would be a bug, if
zram is actively used by the installed system after such an
installation. This is what I tried to test yesterday, but I failed to
used the installer, Calamares, that is bundled with Lubuntu Cosmic, and
when I booted from the Ubuntu mini.iso and used the Debian installer,
the result was a working installed Lubuntu Cosmic system, that is *not*
using zram.

So please describe with more details how you installed Lubuntu (which
installer you used, and which steps you were taking (what you selected
at which step) etc) and I will try to install Lubuntu in the same way.
